Mission East > 13) ...and new agricultural knowledge and new seeds that allow people to grow crops outside of the normal growing season.
Mission East > 12) Mission East plans to support organsiations that are providing sustainable solutions to problems in the lowlands. Sustainable solutions include teacher training.
Mission East > 11) When Graeme visited, recent flooding had made conditions worse. The homes of some families had been destroyed and they were now living under plastic sheets. Just one small side effect of this way of living is that the condensation from the plastic sheets at night is making people ill.
Mission East > 10) The second stage of our strategy will involve working in lowland areas, supporting local partner organisations who work with internally displaced people (IDPs) from the Karnali. These IDPs have left the Karnali zone due to the effects of war and a lack of land to subsist from.  Many IDPs are now living in communities in the rural lowlands...
Mission East > 5) There is also a lack of clean water for drinking as well as water for irrigation. More water reservoirs, such as this one, are required.
Mission East > 7) While many people suffer from the effects of poverty, the caste system means that the Dhalits - or “Untouchables” - suffer the most. The Dhalits are not allowed to own land and they live in separate villages with inappropriate sanitation facilities...
Mission East > 6) One of the challenges is how to get the right infrastructure - with schools and health facilities lacking appropriate buildings, trained staff and materials
Mission East > 9) The first stage of Mission East's strategy, therefore, is to work with local partners in Karnali zone implementing integrated projects that include food security and water and sanitation components.
14) The third stage of the strategy is intended to support local partners working in northern India with the groups of men from the Karnali zone that go there each winter to find work. In December, Mission East will undertake a more detailed assessment.

Mission East is a Danish international relief and development organisation, working in Eastern Europe and Asia. Our aim is to deliver relief aid, to create and support long-term development projects and to empower local aid organisations to carry on the work independently. Making no racial, religious or political distinction between those in need, we aim to assist the most vulnerable.
